The average cost of childcare has risen, and we want the Government to increase the support parents can get through the Tax-Free Childcare scheme from £2,000 per child per year to £4,000, to reflect increasing childcare costs.

Depending on the part of the country you live in, full-time childcare can cost an average of £394.58 a week (£1,709.85 a month). This means the Tax-Free Childcare scheme won't always cover the full cost of childcare. By raising the annual entitlement, the Government can make sure this can more effectively make childcare costs tax free.
